The_Vigilante Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 So does the 300 Blackout have any advantages over the .223 other than it is a larger cartridge and has more power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyburg Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Acording to Daniel horner, ya. There's a good article on it in the new USPSA mag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Acording to Daniel horner, ya. There's a good article on it in the new USPSA mag But, with Time-Plus this year, does it offer any advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if AAC offers another cash bonus to use it and win! There are some benefits to the 300BLK, but they have nothing to do with gun games.

Neomet Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Is the Blackout the one with the bullet trajectory of a grenade toss? I know there is one of those variants that doesn't exactly shoot flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 So does the 300 Blackout have any advantages over the .223 other than it is a larger cartridge and has more power? A fair number of matches here use USPSA scoring an I have toyed with the idea of a .300 black out for that. There is usually a fair amount of paper shot and most targets are inside 200 yards. I thought about having a .300 black out upper for these matches only. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickpony Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'd like to have a 300blk upper for fun and maybe to use for 3-Gun if it makes major easily. Anybody know any good loads for a 20" 300blk that easily make major? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidcoltoutlaw Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Q: Can 300 AAC Blackout make Major Power Factor in 3-gun competition? A: Yes. A Sierra 175 MK loaded to 2.245 OAL in Remington brass and with a 7.5 primer with 20.0 grains of A1680 reached 1900 fps in a 16 inch test barrel. The pressure was below SAAMI max. From the link above work up to it to avoid death etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Has anyone been to a match in the last year that used major minor power factor scoring for three gun? Major is dead. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 The question is why bother? Only USPSA uses major / minor, and thats not for time plus which they seem to be switching to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
